Everlasting Love

The Show

Eliza POV:

We walked into the theatre and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

"ELIZA LOOK! THERES THE TREE!" Carrie smiled.

"Tickets please." The lady said. I handed her our tickets and she read them. "Follow me." She said. We followed her down the center all the way down to the first row. "You are the two seats in the middle."

"Wait, you must have read the tickets wrong. No way we are front row center." I said.

"That's what your tickets say, enjoy the show." She said handing us our playbills.

"THIS KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!" Carrie smiled.

"Enjoy this moment because something like this will probably never happen again to us." I said.

"Can I buy something from the merchandise table?" She asked. "I really wanted a shirt."

"How much are they?" I asked.

"$35." She said. I opened my wallet, that's a lot of money. I had $33 in cash and I was able to scrape together two dollars in change. And that's pretty much all of my money. Well, no dinner tonight.

"Here you go." I smiled.

"Thank you!" She smiled taking the money and running to the stand. How could I say no, she will never get this chance again. I looked through the program and found the guy who I had met before the show, Ben Cook. He's also been in some show called Newsies. And Billy Elliot and Ragtime. Never heard of any of those. Carrie came running back wearing her new Tuck Everlasting shirt smiling from ear to ear. "BEST. DAY. EVER." She smiled. The lights dimmed which meant the show was starting. The music started and Carrie grabbed my hand in excitement. The show was so magical and exciting, and damn that girl Sarah can sing. I saw Ben come on stage, wow he's a really good dancer. And crazy flexible what the hell. He looked over at me at one point of the show and smiled and winked. This is so surreal. Before I knew it, the show was over, leaving me wanting more. They came out for bows and Ben smiled at me again when he took his bow. As he walked off the stage he waved and I couldn't believe this was happening.

"How was it?" I asked Carrie.

"My life is complete." Carrie smiled.

"Well it gets better, Ben said if we go back to that door we had been at early we can meet the cast." I smiled.

"Well then what are we standing here for? LETS GO!" She said grabbing my hand and pushing her way through the people. We made it to the door and there was a huge line of people. Woah, where did all these people come from? How am I supposed to find Ben with all these people? I saw somebody who looked like security.

"Hi, Ben Cook told us to meet him here after the show." I said.

"Wait right here for him." The security man said. Phew, we didn't have to stand in the huge ass line of people. A couple minutes later the door opened and a bunch of people screamed. I looked and Ben had come out. He saw me and smiled and motioned for me to come in. I grabbed Carries hand and followed Ben into the theatre.

"So, did you like the show?" He smiled.

"IT WAS AMAZING!" Carrie screamed.

"Glad you liked it short stack." Ben laughed. "How about you Eliza?" Well I'll be damned, he remembered my name.

"It was great, I really liked it." I smiled.

"Carrie!" I heard a voice say. I turned and Sarah was standing behind us.

"Hi!" Carrie smiled as Sarah grabbed her in a hug.

"I thought you couldn't see the show!" She smiled.
